affiliate Form at the PS homepage

hello. I putted PS affiliate link on a site, the problem would be if I click myself on the link it delivers me on PS homepage, where new user can register immediatly, but there is an affiliate form. If new user types there random username or leave it as blank then my sended new user would still be as my affiliate or what?

secondly how much would be the buffer time for seeing the new registered user as my affiliate?

I hope I got this correctly: If a user that follows your referral link leaves the field blank or enters a random combination that doesn't coincide with a username, he will be referred through you. If he enters a user name, this will overwrite the link.

This is so when you want to refer a RL buddy and he might have clicked on a link some time ago, you can still make sure he is registered as referred through you.

As for your second question, this shouldn't take longer than 24h - if you think there was a mistake, please contact support
